Nika King, who plays Leslie Bennett – Rue’s mother – in HBO’s Euphoria, has revealed that the delay of season three is having a negative impact on her finances. King addressed the situation during a stand-up comedy routine in Los Angeles, stating that the show’s delay was causing issues in her personal life, including paying rent.
The exact release date for the third season of Euphoria is unknown. While filming was initially expected to begin in 2023, it has yet to start. Colman Domingo, who is an Oscar-nominated actor and one of the stars of the series, explained that the show’s creator, Sam Levinson, is wrestling with “what’s important,” which is leading to the significant delay.
Euphoria has explored many complex and sensitive topics since its debut, including mental illness, substance abuse, and sexual identity. Despite the show’s success, one of the main cast members, Angus Cloud, passed away from an accidental drug overdose at the age of 25 in late July. Many of Cloud’s collaborators on the show took to social media to express their condolences, with Levinson stating that “There was no one quite like Angus.”
While King and fans alike eagerly await the release of the third season, some have speculated about what the future of the show may look like. Jacob Elordi, who plays Nate Jacobs in the series, believes that the third season may have to take place in the future due to the delay. Other than this, there is little known about what to expect from the upcoming season.
Fans of the show, including King, are hoping for more news soon. King joked about her financial struggles during her comedy routine, but the delay is a serious issue for those who depend on the show for their livelihoods. Until more information about the third season is released, fans of the series are left in the dark
